Child nudity?

I'm curious to get everyone's perspective on this. How do you feel about letting your child(ren) go naked in public (such as a beach, park, etc?). How about being naked in the privacy of your own back yard but with other family members present, both male and female? Would you or do you post naked shots of your kids on the Internet (message boards, fb, etc?). How do you feel about having non family members see your kids naked? If you allow it, what do you feel is the cut off age?

My kids dont run around naked, maybe with just a diaper if hot or something but not naked. There has been times when they have stripped but I dont let them stay undressed...I just dont think its appropriate for my children to do at any age.

I happen to agree. There was one instance this summer when Faith was at her grandparent's house and was playing naked in a kiddie pool in their enclosed backyard. Other than that, I try to protect her modesty as best I can in public situations.

On a different site I was a part of during and after my pregnancy with her, there was a girl who was notorious for posting fully nude shots of her daughter from infancy and beyond. Shots of her, frontal nude, standing in the back yard, sitting on the potty, eating dinner...the kid never wore clothes. Her mother maintained that if someone had issues with it, they must be the perverted one. Drove everyone nuts.

I totally let my daughter play nude in our kiddy pool in our yard. I also let her run through the sprinkler. I am totally ok with our family being there etc and our close friends. However I only let her strip down to her panties if we're somewhere there is an unexpected water park or something and I would never post a picture that showed any parts. I have taken a couple cute bath pics but nothing is showing.

ha ha funny you posted this. I totally posted my naked child on facebook. naked under 3 year olds are too cute, and nothing was being shown out right ..

I really think our society is WAY uptight about child nudity. As with everything else location and moderation is the key. This was the second time ever my child has run around naked in the yard. Her bathing suit is too tight, and i'm working on potty training her. She was playing in a tub of water on the porch in my fenced in yard. All my cousins were potty trained naked in the yard or where ever as was I. I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. Inserted is said pic.

My baby is so darn cute naked! I just love to squeeze her chubby thighs......however I would never let her be naked in public. Not now or not when she's a child. I don't think it's appropriate. How hard is it to wear panties or a diaper?

As for naked around family, it would have to be pretty close family, and even then- if she's running around the house/yard and there are people around other than me or DH, I'm gonna put something on her.

She's adorable! And nothing is showing. The mother I had referred to would post all pictures with...well...vagina showing. I think she partially did it for shock value. She also did it on a public forum that was accessible to everyone, not on her private profile or the like. When questioned how she felt about potential pedophiles lurking her pictures, she would counter that pedophiles look at children regardless of being naked or not. I just feel that posting pictures like those is a welcoming invitation for disaster.My daughter who is almost 2 has been naked around her grandparents and teenage Aunts and that's about it. I am not even comfortable with her wearing a two piece bikini (the kind that have a traditional bikini top, not the "tankini" type that cover most of the chest and belly.). But that us just my own personal preference.I have posted one or two cute diaper shots of her on fb, which is set to private. NEVER a naked butt or crotch shot.

This. The only naked pictures of either of my boys are in the bathtub, and there's a strategically placed wash cloth. Neither of my boys really ran around in just a diaper, though.

-I will never post nude pics of my kids anywhere.-They will not run around nude in public areas regardless of age-They will never be nude around someone (excluding diaper changes) who isn't immediate family (me, DH, or siblings)-The only non-family members that would see any nudity of my child are the ladies at his daycare when they change him. Unfortunately I can't avoid that.

I'm not sure what we're going to do about nudity inside the house. DH and I still run around that way with a 4 month old and I'm not sure when we'll stop.

I'm just afraid of public nudity with all the sickos out there. And FIL is a sicko. You just never know.

I don't think society is to blame... I'm a total nudist. If I could leave the house naked I would. However.... There ARE pervs that troll for just that type of picture.. That is not society being uptight.. That is perverts having a technical advantage. I do not like the thought of some Jack ass stroking off to naked pictures of my kid. Period.. It may never even happen.. But I will not take that chance. I have plenty of nakie pictures of my daughter. However, they will NEVER be displayed on the Internet. If you think it's just society, then check out the mile long child offender list (just for your area)... That's real stuff and they are out there. Don't fool yourself.

I don't see what the big deal is. Vivi was naked at the beach this summer briefly, while I rinsed her off after removing her swimsuit. I really don't think people should be offended by the naked body of a toddler, and if they were, I think that really says a lot more about them than it does about me.

She is also fairly routinely naked at home, with DH and I, and sometimes at my sisters house where she will bathe with my nephews, who are 3 and 2.

I think there is a time and place for child nudity. I frequent a nude beach and used to occasionally go with my friend to her family's timeshare at a nudist resort. Great places. And I'm perfectly fine with a child naked then. Having your child nude during changes in public isn't a big deal to me but in most places letting a toddler 3+ running around naked doesn't sit well with me. In a private backyard, at home around close family and friends is perfectly fine to me. Naked shots....full frontal -no. Butt shots are too cute to resist up to a certain age though.
